so, we have a video of me in the bathtub asking, "what's that thing paul has?" the response to which is "that's his penis." i say, "daddy has one too - a big one." i also answer the "do you know what it's for?" question with, "it's how he goes to the bathroom."

oh, and this isn't a home video. this is an educational film for which i was a paid actress. a paid actress of four years of age. it's called "a family talks about sex." and it's been the bane of my existence for years.

do you know how many of my dates were shown this video in a moment of horrific jealousy by my sister?

yeah, that was a really long story. sorry for wasting space in your comments... :-P

Yeah, Isaac is slowly getting the idea that he has a penis, and daddy has a penis, but mommy doesn't. This has a downside. He barged in while I was showering the other day, hauled the curtain open, and announced that "momma has no penis. she's got a huge bum."

my so is VERY aware that he has a penis, and daddy has a penis....luckily we haven't gotten around to the absence of mommy's penis......

Right now, this very morning in fact......the chunky monkey had to potty while I was in the shower. We were talking, he was singing.....potty sometimes takes forever.....when all the sudden he screamed.....

A million years ago, when my son was a newborn, his two-year-old sister was on the scene when he was getting a diaper change. She pointed between his legs and crowed, "A TAIL!" She was so very amused that her baby brother had a tail. It was hard to correct her because it was so darn funny.

That was funny! My dh has never let the girls see him naked. NEVER. But they've asked about their baby cousins body parts, and I told them the same thing, but they wanted to know WHY boys have penis's and girls have vagina's... eek!

LOL! I have 2 boys. They have told me that "Mommy is the only one in the house without a penis, poor mommy". I said. "Mommy is the only one in the house that is able to find stuff. I prefer knowing where my things are to having a penis anyday."So the next day when DS1s teacher asked him where his crayons were he said "I don't know Mrs H. I have penis."

loved the blog, it took me a minute to get what was happening, there. Thats too funny, I have two girls, an 8 yr old and a 1yr old. I went through something similar with my first daughter, Im sure I will have to go there again with the second, especially since men cant seem to just tuck those things away where no one can see them.

Haha. The other day when I thought my son was about to do something that might cause injury to his bits and pieces, I said, "Boy, don't do that. That makes me want to cross my legs, and I don't even HAVE a penis." And then all of a sudden, even though we have discussed this whole "Mommy doesn't have a penis" thing before, he said to me, "Wait-- you don't have a penis?!?" as though it had just dawned on him. He looked horrified. And I said, "No. I've told you before. Girls don't have penises. I don't have one."

I always bring Dawson into the shower with me if we're in a hurry to get ready to go somewhere. He always asks me, "Mumma, why you don't have a penis? Only Daddy and Dawson have big penis?" This usually makes me laugh. And then he says, "Only Mumma have big cushions." He was talking about my breasts. I have know idea where the cushion description came from. The hubs swears he didn't teach him about breasts yet!
